Local Student Helps Tech Aero Design Team Finish 15th
James Beat of Bryan, Texas, was part of the South Dakota School of Mines and
Technology Aero Design team that finished in 15th place during a recent
competition in California. Beat is majoring in Mechanical Engineering at Tech, a
science and engineering university in Rapid City, S.D.
The Aero Design competition challenges engineering students to conceive,
design, fabricate, and test a radio-controlled aircraft. The competition is divided
into two parts – design and flight. In the design event, the contestants present
their design strategy and demonstrate the accuracy of their calculations in
predicting the maximum payload the aircraft can lift. The flight event determines
which aircraft can lift the most weight. The competition limits the wingspan of
each aircraft, and requires each aircraft take off and land within a limited
distance.

Local Student Helps Tech Aero Design Team Finish 15th
Chris Radzikowski of Las Vegas, Nev., was part of the South Dakota School of
Mines and Technology Aero Design team that finished in 15th place during a
recent competition in California. Radzikowski is majoring in Computer Science
and Mechanical Engineering at Tech, a science and engineering university in
Rapid City, S.D.
The Aero Design competition challenges engineering students to conceive,
design, fabricate, and test a radio-controlled aircraft. The competition is divided
into two parts – design and flight. In the design event, the contestants present
their design strategy and demonstrate the accuracy of their calculations in
predicting the maximum payload the aircraft can lift. The flight event determines
which aircraft can lift the most weight. The competition limits the wingspan of
each aircraft, and requires each aircraft take off and land within a limited
distance.
